This doc covers the settings available in the Advanced Columns section of the Options tab.
Builder provides options for you to control the behavior of your columns with just a click. Under the hood, Builder uses Flexbox to lay out columns and choose their direction.
Using Builder's Advanced Columns settings, you can decide when your columns stack on top of each other: at tablet size, at phone size, or never.
Builder also provides settings in the Advanced Columns section to reverse the order of your columns when they're stacked, and a setting to change the space, or margins, between columns.
To find these settings, with the Columns block selected, open the Options tab and scroll down to Show Advanced. Click that button.
Once you open the Show Advanced section of the Columns Options you'll find a dropdown where you can choose at which screen size your columns will stack vertically. By default, they will stack at tablet size and smaller. However, you can choose to have them stack only if the screen is phone size, or you can never have them stack.

Toggling that switch to the on position causes the columns to appear in reverse order at the stacking screen size you selected in the stacking section.
